Finnegan's Patent Law Patriarch: Donald Dunner

October 7, 2014

Law360

Law360 has featured Finnegan attorney Donald R. Dunner in its “Appellate A-List” column, a regular feature that presents in-depth profiles of the nation’s leading appellate litigators. The article chronicles Dunner’s distinguished career, from almost pursuing a career in chemical engineering to his first appearance in front of the U.S. Supreme court in 2014. Dunner – who is considered a living legend in the patent world – is most notably credited with playing an instrumental role in the creation of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In addition, he is the court’s oral argument record holder, having argued more than 165 appeals.
